SAN ANTONIO Ceasar Zepeda grew up cooking alongside his extended family. They taught him the secrets to success in the kitchen. When the smell of my food reminds me of my grandpa s house, I know it s perfect, Zepeda said. I didn t go to culinary school. I learned things on my own.
Zepeda moved to San Antonio several years ago to study business at UTSA. After earning his degree, he stayed in the Alamo City to join the food scene. After learning from other restaurant owners and climbing up the culinary ladder, he opened Sangria on the Burg in 2016.
Mi Roti Owner Nicola Blaque made a splash in 2018 with local Jamaican food stalwart The Jerk Shack, and her newest venture the Pearl Bottling Department is drawing similar praise for its Caribbean flavors. Named for roti, a West Indian flatbread used to cradle savory street foods, Mi Roti takes customization to a new level, offering sophisticated wraps stuffed with components including jerk chicken, curry goat, rice, mango chutney, shredded kale and spinach. Don’t sleep on the hot sauces, which range from “slight heat” to “mouth on fire.”
